Australia Post - DO NOT SAFE DROP stickers

Hi there

 

Does anyone know what Australia Post's policy is re. leaving cards for post office pick-up when recipient isn't at home and safe-dropping? I received a parcel today which had a large red DO NOT SAFE DROP sticker on it. I was out all day - & it was left on my verandah. Do Australia Post now have a policy of safe dropping, even when there's a sticker asking them not to? I wonder whether the removal of all those delivery options like this on Click & Send is part of a move to reduce the number of parcels being carded and left for collection at the post office. Not good if it results in more parcels being lost or stolen. What do you think?
